This recipe for cream of cauliflower soup is so good! I came up with this recipe in 1990, and I always make some modifications. We like lots of garlic as you can see! I use potatoes for thickening the soup rather than cream to keep the fat down. Sometimes I add or substitute other vegetables like broccoli and spinach.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 medium carrots, chopped

- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and carrots; cook and stir until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Pour in broth and bring to a boil. Stir in cauliflower, then cover, reduce the heat, and simmer until vegetables are tender, 10 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Step 3
Pur?e soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Return to the stove and stir in milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and sherry over low heat. Cook until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
